Versatile: Alternate World

The enemy immediately bites his tongue before he can even do anything. He died immediately after biting the part of his tongue that has an artery that is directly connected to his heart. It looks like an assassin capable of doing that kind of technique, he even has a few daggers and throwing knives on his body which means he is indeed here with the intent to kill. There aren't players available here due to this being an exclusive quest available to me, also, Aquagius is entirely inaccessible before the Pioneer Quest is issued. The only thing we can say is that this assassin is an NPC that should be from someone with high status.

I inspected the assassin since he was covered from head to toe, no one knows who is under the guise of the assassin. I checked the assassin's face and I immediately noticed that this guy is also an insect person.

Still, I didn't expect that you can indeed die by biting your own tongue. After all, I have bitten my tongue accidentally many times but I am still alive. Perhaps, I needed to know what part is needed to bite for me to do that kind of performance. Just in case I also needed to do that kind of thing too.

"He died!" Tina started looking around for more enemies but it seems like no one is here other than this assassin who died.

"This guy has done a wasted effort," I shook my head before grabbing his head.

"[Necromancy: Revive the Dead.]"

"Necromancy?!" Tina was surprised the moment I used the skill. Although this skill is purely used on monsters, it is also applied to people as long as they are already dead and treated as a "corpse" already.

The dead assassin shook a bit before a green light engulfed his whole body and his lifeless eyes opened again and he slowly stood up.

"...Master."

"State your name, your affiliation, and also your reason for being here."

"Yes. I am Papillon and I served as one of the assassins of the Insect Kingdom's royalties. I was tasked to secretly kill insignificant humans who are not nobles visiting the Insect Kingdom to get rid of the majority of them in the Insect Kingdom before the event happen."

My eyebrows furrowed when I heard this. After all, I have heard of this force before but I never expected that thing that happened as a history of the Insect Kingdom where humans were killed by an unknown assailant would be caused by this assassin. It was a large scale so my guess is that he is not the only one who is under the orders of the royalties.

"Sent to kill the humans who are not nobles?! Why is the palace is doing this?!" Tina grabs the collar of the undead.

"I am sorry but I don't know how to answer that since I don't know why they are doing this. I am just a mere servant tasked to kill. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Khhh!" Tina seems adamant about hitting him but Lina stopped her.

"There is no point hitting her, Princess Tina. He is already under master's power as he already died. It's a pointless effort," Lucia explained allowing for Tina to stop.

"Do you have an accomplice while doing this?"

"Yes. Two others are also tasked the same as me. Currently, they are killing waiting for a good chance to kill a few of them."

I already got the necessary info and understood what it was now.

"Alright, I order you to die."

"Understood!" the undead pulled out the knife on his hip and stab his jugular with it, causing him to instantly die.

"Master, you should have at least utilized him as your servant and kill," Lucia suggested.

"No need. I can do the job alone. Lucia, Lina, protect Tina while you go back to the inn. Don't hesitate to kill anyone who will try to kill you while you are on the way to the inn. Don't hesitate. Ah, also, Lucia, kindly burn the corpse and leave nothing behind to avoid any evidence from showing up next morning."

"Understood," Lina bowed down and Lucia nodded, hyped to do some killing before she ignited her hands and throw the little fireball in her palm to the corpse, burning the dead body to the crisp.

After giving orders to the two, I quickly went and maneuvered around the buildings while under the [Stealth], also, the [Cape of Hiding]'s unique ability would be very useful here since it's already nighttime.

I already traversed the rooftops of the Insect Kingdom in the past timeline due to one mission where we needed to deal with an escaping culprit of the monster breakout of the Insect Kingdom, which resulted in the countless deaths of many NPCs.

It wasn't complex and the rooftops of every house here are tight and close to each other which is why I am very capable of jumping from one building to another without worrying about falling to the ground.

My eyes looked around and I noticed one figure above the rooftops. He is near the center of the Insect Kingdom's plaza, which means the target of the assassin is somewhere in the plaza.

I slowly approached the bastard before covering his mouth and stabbing his jugular with my Versatile Weapon in the form of a dagger and ripping his throat out. The assassin barely managed to notice my presence allowing me for quick execution.

As for the body, I didn't dispose of it just like how I ordered Lucia to burn it to ashes. This one, I needed a bit of chaos so that in case the other assassin is still hiding, he will be alarmed and force himself/herself to escape.

With a light kick, the dead body of the assassin roll from the rooftop before landing to the table below with a loud thud, causing the people below to be unlucky enough to witness a corpse falling from the sky.

I quickly escaped the area. I can't risk myself being seen by the guards once they investigate the area.. Now, I just needed the last assassin to take the bait and escape before I make the strike.
